24-Feb-2026 was agood night with Small Quaker, Twin-spotted Quaker and Diurnea fagella all NFY from a total of 23/7 #cambsmoths #vc29moths #teammoth #mothmatters
Spurred on by feeds for #norfolkmoths, #norfolkbirds I decided to experiment creating a feed for #cambsmoths - post with hashtags #cambsmoths #cambridgeshiremoths or #vc29moths should be included (except - I've never done this before, so... #teammoths #mothmatters)
See bsky.app/profile/did:...
Maybe no moth lessons for the students but perhaps more important life lessons instead for them #mothmatters #shithappens !
It's been awhile since I left my trap out in my garden (it had been quite wet).Just these three - Red Green Carpet, Angle Shades & Black Rustic, in the trap this morning😢. Hopefully, the trap I left out at work has a better result! 🤞

autumnal #moth ( according to app) new to garden to light this morning just outside the trap . Or could it be a small autumnal #moth ? East central Scotland 30/9/25 #teammoth #mothmatters @savebutterflies.bsky.social
Amongst the assorted yellow underwings was this Yellow Ophion ichneumonid wasp. It parasitizes Heart & Dart caterpillars. Nature red in tooth, claw, and ovipositor. #Teammoth #Mothmatters

I've had the Slender Burnished Brass (Thysanoplusia orichalcea, "ORI") out for a few weeks now (along with the NI Moth lure) - this morning was the first Plusia to give either more than a passing sniff... 6th Dewick's Plusia of the year. One of ths smartest Plusias to my eye #teammoth #mothmatters

A lovely little Triodia sylvina, Orange Swift moth, from the moth morning at #RSPBMiddletonLakes, 23/08/25 @bcwarwickshire.bsky.social #moth #mothmatters
It's in a bit of a hurry crossing a path! I think this is a White Ermine moth caterpillar, probably looking for a cosy place to settle in and start the next process of its lifecycle.

Sadly, it has been poor haul in my moth trap the last 2 nights at 2 different locations within a site. Both nights produced only a few species when this time last year, one of the locations had 200 moths, 47 species. Climate chaos? #mothmatters #teammoth
A few from another fine mild damp evening - large emerald #moth , willow beauty , purple clay and spruce carpet east central Scotland - #mothmatters #teammoth @savebutterflies.bsky.social
Very mild night helped deliver some new #moths for garden and me . Figure of 80 and Beautiful carpet were the highlights , rare in east central Scotland ! #teammoth #mothmatters @mothiduk.bsky.social
It wasn't a great result 😔 from my garden moth trap last Saturday night. 27 moths, 18 species. A few highlights - Swallow tail, Spectacle, Large Yellow and Underwing & Brimstone. #natureconnection #mothmatters #teammoth
With the warm weather, I was hoping for a better result from the moth trap in my garden last night. Unfortunately, only a small haul of just 10 moths, 8 sp. A few photos - Flame, Cinnabar, Heart & Dart and a lovely caddiesfly, Athripsodes bilineatus. #natureconnection #mothmatters
